However, the market is not out of the woods yet and there will be small regional and segmental dips
along the way.North America, with 42% of the market share, dominates the global IT services market. Various other locations such as India, China, Vietnam, and the Philippines are anticipated to be key drivers for the market due to their low-cost labour and skilled talent pools.The APAC region is considered to be an outsourcing hub because of the presence of key outsourcing countries in the region.
